Armani – Dertona 75-59: Milan win the Italian Cup for the 8th time
Armani Milano triumphed over Dertona in the Italian Cup final to win the 8th Cup in its history with characteristic ease (75-59).
The 8th cup in its history was won by Armani Milano, who defeated Dertona 75-59 in the grand final. The Milan team erupted after the end in a final that – apparently – held the title of favourite. Typical home team Armani didn’t lose control of the game for a minute, dominating from the first ten minutes and smiling at the big win at the end of the final.
Dertona tried to do his best after the great semifinal win over Virtus, but the obstacle from Mitoglou’s team was too big to succeed. The first scorer for Armani was Niccolo Meli with 14 points while Hall had 12 and Dilleni 10. For Dertona, Makura stood out with 17 points.
THE TEN MINUTES: 25-13, 41-33, 53-47, 75-59
